Woods, Mickelson top official Farmers Open field

The field for next week’s Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines was finalized on Friday, with one big name pulling out.

Don’t worry. It wasn’t Tiger Woods.

Geoff Ogilvy, the 2006 U.S. Open champion and seven-time tour winner, notified the PGA Tour he needed more time off after cutting his hand two weeks ago while swimming in Hawaii. Ogilvy had to withdraw from the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, for which he was the two-time defending champion.

The popular Australian is a loss, but it will hardly affect a tournament that includes the two most recognizable players in America: Woods and San Diegan Phil Mickelson. Woods is starting his season at Torrey Pines, where he has won seven times as a pro, and Mickelson will be coming off an appearance on the European Tour in Abu Dhabi. He’s won three titles at Torrey, though nothing here since 2001.

Woods is ranked No. 2 in the world and Mickelson is tied for fourth. Beyond them, the next highest-ranked player is No. 14 Dustin Johnson. Mickelson, the Masters champion, is the only major winner from last year in the field.

Jim Furyk, the 2010 Player of the Year, and Matt Kuchar, the leading money winner, chose not to play.

Joining Mickelson and Johnson from last year’s top 10 on the money list is No. 10 Hunter Mahan.

Ben Crane is the defending champion, and among the other popular players in the field are Rickie Fowler, John Daly, Camilo Villegas, Anthony Kim, Rocco Mediate and newly named U.S. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III.
